Not just “trans sisters” but “trans formers” too

Can you? Yes. Is it worth your time and effort? Probably not. But that’s rarely stopped anyone.

If AI is “just a tool”, then guns are “just a tool”

You used to have master and slave processes too until it was changed to parent and child

Yeah, I’ve heard. I’ve always associated the terms with dom/sub play, not slavery.

I get the reasoning as to why, but it seems odd to me that the IT terms were fixated on, but not the engineering terms; “master” and “slave” are still the accepted terms in the context of hydraulic systems, for example.

It’s also generally accepted that “retard” and “retarded” are generally acceptable terms when used in an engineering context. If we can accept that some terms are accepted in the a technical context, it seems inconsistent not to apply the same thinking to IT terminology.

Just more stuff to keep us bickering with each other so we don’t look up and realize where all the real problems are coming from, imo.

“Ey gurl, don’t act like you ain’t see my pull request. Lemme deep scan dem packets.”

Don’t forget all the master/slave terminology
